I am very interested to see who the GCL Sox throw today. With two rainouts and an off day in a four-day span, they skipped two spots in the starting rotation. Theoretically, Manny Rivera starts game one. We'll see what happens after that.

Note: Junichi Tazawa has not been activated yet. This is total speculation that he will come off the DL today to pitch.

Middlebrooks with a GRAND SLAM. Brackman walks the bases loaded 2 innings in a row. He had 8 BB in 3.2 innings BTW HR was the 1st hit of the game for the Drive.

Does anyone else find Brackman failing as enjoyable as I do? Keith Law has gotten better recently as a draft guy but it still cracks me up how much he loved Brackman, These super tall pitchers have to be the most likely of all high signing bonus guys to fail. Aside from Randy Johnson age 30+ they just never have even average control.

Also Stolmy 6k vs 0bb in 4ip so far, I believe Since his first two starts of the season he has averaged a k per ip.

With Brackman, his recent TJ surgery probably has more to do with his command troubles than his height. He does get more hype than he deserves, though, given his injury and his pre-injury performance. If he were 6'5" with the same repertoire he wouldn't sniff anyone's top 100 list.

After last night, it may not be safe to say that a team "blows a game open" when they open up a 10-5 lead.

But anyway, why is Zerpa still in the SAL beating up on people? What the heck does HE have to do to get a promotion?

For what it's worth, Brackman never really had good BB numbers in college (or K numbers for that matter).
2007 - 4.27 BB/9 (in 78 IP)
2006 - 6.10 BB/9 (in 28.1 IP)
2005 - 3.77 BB/9 (in 43 IP)

With his improved command this year if he gets moved up and continues to deal I imagine he may get some sniffs as a rule V loogy...better bet to make the jump then positional players.

There's definitely something going on there. In his first nine starts (50.2 IP) he walked just 18 batters for a 3.20 BB/9. Not great, but perfectly acceptable. In his last six starts though, he's walked 34 in 21.2 IP. Maybe there's bone chips or some kind of scar tissue in the elbow that's giving him trouble.

It's Tazawa vs. Mata in game 1 for Portland, Lawson vs. Pino in game 2.

Well, they jinxed it when they projected Jay Rainville to start the opener.

I hope not the RS would not take the Nats lightly and aware of what they did to the Blue Jays & Yankees. Just sweep them by play hard & show the Nats why they're best in AL. -MLBDreams

In spite of his record, Morris should be a decent test for Salem. No FedEx in the lineup.
Portland game underway.
Tazawa throwing his usual mix but seems to have a fair amount of pitches with several deep counts (sounds like he is just missing). The hits against him have been hit hard and the 4th inning leadoff double missed being a HR by about a foot.

Second run 'happened' when the runner scored after Diaz made a nice play to throw home and Otness (a.k.a. Placeholder) dropped the ball (would have been clearly out).
Tazawa then gave up an infield dribbler to SS single followed by a hard hit liner single to left.

4th inning down 3-0 and the Dogs are perfect compliant with the bats so far.

Sea Dogs scored a run on a Diaz single (first hit for the Dogs), a SB and an Otness stand up double (not hard hit tho). Diaz has been running lately, he's always been said to have some speed but has never been a base stealer. Worth watching.

Opposing pitcher Mata replaced, must be a pitch count thing. The mound is wet and the pitchers are all clearing their spikes often.

Antonelis said 'early in the year Lars was chasing a lot of outside pitches but is doing much better now'. Batters box also wet, trainer had to come out to check Lars after a swing and miss.

Down 3-1

Salem 1-1 after 3.

Telling box score thing:
Groundouts-flyouts: Garrison 1-6, Morris, B 5-0
K's Garrison 0 Morris 4

Tazawa done after 5, Richardson in. Tazawa pitched OK, results are about appropriate. He seems to throw a good mix of pitches and uses the corners well as a result, he throws more pitches per inning than most. He's not likely to be the type of pitcher that challenges hitters. Most of the balls he threw were close.
down 3-1 middle of the 6th.
